First time for me but seen it on here before. I was loading 88 eldm for 22-250 and one bullet from box wouldn't fit. Measures .264 and weighs 123 grains.

That Bullet Company owes you an explanation. They should send you a 500 box for free for that mistake!!!

I had a similar experience with a very well known manufacturer a few years ago. One .284 bullet in a box of .277. I was all wound up, figured they might need to issue a recall on that lot etc etc.
I called them and kindly pointed out their error. I was not looking for a reward as much as helping with my perceived safety issue. The lady on the phone was totally un-impressed. "Yeah, happens sometimes when a bullet gets stuck in the system and pops loose later" and "We will send you 5 bullets for your trouble"
Yes, 5. Of a different lot of course. Worthless to me. I had them sent and threw the original package in a drawer. Figured if some poor sapp made headlines and sued the manufacturer, his lawyer would really like me to take the stand.
Never happend. Moreoever, in hindsight, I think the manufacturer would win the law suit. You really should notice a larger bullet. Which the OP and I both did, it appears.

Never count. Just weight the lot and divide by the grains! Sometime I have to use the wife's kitchen scale, which luckily was purchased by me as a present to her
, and thus is nice and accurate in grams. Convert to grains and divide!

Whoops. LOL!
I'm not excited about missing one. Have plenty of full boxes and just putting holes in paper.

Cavity back bullets sent me a box of 50 full of 243 bullets in a .264 box. Then they wanted me to pay to ship them back before they would send me another box of .264 bullets that I ordered.
That right there would get me a bit perturbed. That kind of stuff could almost get me to be a bit belligerent and that takes some doing, let me tell you. I am easily one of the most tolerant people when it comes to screwups and even bonehead mistakes. It happens. Let's just get it resolved..no biggie. I do not expect to be compensated (but it would be good CS to do so even if only in a token way). But to demand I must pay out of pocket to fix their screwup before they will correct it!?! OH....HELL NO!!
I might have suggested to them CPSC might be interested in a product safety recall. Complete
on their part.Cavity Back should know we talk and stuff like this gets around.
Bad publicity does not help them.

Sounds like a lawsuit depending on the person that ran into that issue. Luckily it was large enough to be obvious.
